My daughter has a science project to do and I've been designated assistant. Anyone have any good/fun ideas that could be done involving swimming. If I can incorporate me swimming into a science project, I will get double mileage out of time I will spend swimming anyhow. Anyone have any thoughts?
Hi - I'm interested in giving this some thought.
Daughter's general age and achievement in science?
For very young: Can dad swim faster than a polar bear?
An experiment I conducted on myself: Can a sighted person swim with closed eyes and tell where the wall or end is? For older child, this could be run as a 2-person experiment: How many attempts before dad approaches the acuity of a person with limited vision? Fluid dynamics at the wall that cue dad where the wall is?
The science lies in formulating the question.
What fun!
Regards, VB
